RE: Trip update & Photos - Coromandale peninsula

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

@randystiefer, Yes, I'm quite happy with it as first camera. Still looking forward to upgrade to a better landscape camera, as I didn't know it would be my thing when I bought it.
@diggerdugg, I'm new as well. I knew nothing about cameras a year ago, except that I wanted to photograph, so I called a photography teacher and he recommended this model to begin with. overall I'm happy with it, learning to take advantage of what It gives me.
I don't know what do You mean by "generic", but sometimes I wish I had a "generic" Canon or Nikon too :)
They'r so popular for a reason.
BTW I can recommend few very instructive YouTube channels, some for technical teaching, and some for inspiration

I've owned very expensive camera's from both canon(6D) and sony(a77 mkii) and I wouldn't trade my X-T20 for either. @truedwell. The X-T10 can perform remarkably well at landscapes. If you don't already have it the first thing I would do is upgrade to the 10-24mm lenses as it is a superb landscape(and video) lens. After that stepping up to the X-T20 would be your next best move. You'd really only need the X-T2 if you are going to get heavy into video, sports, or wildlife.

Thanks for the informative reply. I value Your advice - will look into those lens.
What lenses do You use for wildlife photography? anyting equivilent to 100-300mm or so?

The vast majority of my wildlife photos were taken using the sigma 150-500mm lens on a sony a77 II. For the fujifilm cameras the 100-400mm is the best option and on my wishlist.
